   Stalin killed more people than Hitler and was a genocidal maniac in his own right.

   But the left would prefer to forget this and focus on the fascists rather than clean their closet of tankies.

   What if I hate both fascists and tankies?

      - Then you are a decent, intellectually honest person and you have my respect, for what it's worth.

      @elizafox They were all authoritarians, and authoritarianism doesn't really get you anywhere except into a unconscionable hellscape.
      
      The main task as a global community is to find better ways to mitigate authoritarian tendencies. To cut them off before they get going: the small scale bullies who eventually if unchecked graduate into oligarchs and war criminals. This also means addressing issues like big differences in social status and economic inequality.
